    WC846 question...

    Could wc846 be used in large caliber hand gun loads? I've got 16 pounds I'd like to find a use for besides 308's

    Sorry, a powder suitable for 308's is too slow for handgun use, unless you have a ar15 pistol, or rifle caliber contender. Too slow for even 44 mag.

    500 S&W Mag is a large caliber handgun.

    John Ross developed some BL-C2 loads.
    BL-C2 is equilivant to WC846
